This is just a cooler. Just a regular ol’ cooler that’s been outfitted with a built-in blender, a waterproof Bluetooth speaker,
a bottle opener, USB outlets and a host of other insane (but also entirely necessary) features. Nothing to
see here but your run-of-the-mill speaker/blender/cooler...
THE BARBECUE
The Pitmasters Have Taken Over Pig Beach
Good news: that sprawling outdoor barbecue spot in Gowanus is back open for the season. More good news:
they’re inviting the best pitmasters from across America to take over the smoker over the course of the
summer. First up are the folks from St. Louis’s Pappy’s Smokehouse. The “Pappy” means it’s good.
THE GHOSTBUSTERS
An Interactive <em>Ghostbusters</em> Viewing
Sure, you’ve seen Ghostbusters before. But you probably haven’t seen it in a warehouse
transformed into the movie’s firehouse headquarters, with live characters and the film’s actual props
built into different sets and themed rooms. Getting Zuul’s autograph is a total possibility.
THE POP-UP
Handsome Traveling Things from Abroad
You walk into a small shop with hanging disks meant to give the impression of airplane windows. You find a
selection of nicely curated Japanese and Swedish cleansing oils, face masks and phone-charging carry-ons.
You leave, more prepared for summer vacationing than you entered. This is that situation.

THE BRUNCH
Momofuku Nishi’s Doing Brunch Now
Momofuku Nishi brunch is now two days that involve pork-and-fried-egg sandwiches, scrambled eggs with
bottarga and rice bowls with ocean trout and unagi sauce. Yeah, the ocean has trout.
Sunday
THE YEEZCREAM
A Kanye-Inspired Ice Cream Week
This shop’s doing “Kanye Ice Cream Week,” inspired by the rare glimpses of happiness on Kanye’s face
whilst eating ice cream. Go. Try the “Father Stracciatella My Hands Pt. 1.” Try the “Beautiful Morning
Milkshake.” Try something else. Also feel happy.
